Why Lead? Health
Same size, Shape, chemistry Different Orbitals, Different total Number of electrons
Warren et al, TIBS, 1998, 23, 217
Current measurements no longer rely on zinc protoporphyrin as PbB effects on fetal development can be detected at values of PbB <5 ug/dL
ALAD dehydratase with lead binding site An estimated 40% of lead in blood plasma bound to ALAD Wetmur, 1994
Enhanced ALA concentration leads to tautomers which easily form radicals which may attack the cell wall - leading to early cell death. Heme dies about 20% earlier Hammond and Dietrich, 1990
Because lead affected ALAD resulting in overproduction of ALA ALA may also affect the function of GABA but a close similarity in molecular structure GABA controls leaf tip growth, and brain development. Function changes with time, so growing tips and infants differentially affected from adults
Herlenius and Lagercrantz, 2001 Ben-Ari1, 2001 Certain portions of the brain more greatly affected: prefrontal cortex: problem solving hippocampus (memory) cerebellum (motor coordination, body movement, posture and balance)
Why Lead? Everywhere
Lead as an ore in the earth relatively benign Human activity distributes lead into the environment
Modern major uses 1. Pigments 2. Leaded Gasoline 3. Munitions

Health Effects of Lead
Inhalation depends upon the particle size. This data is for humans
Dissolution of lead carbonate particles in simulated gastric juices as a function of particle size For birds, the uptake will depend upon the pH and grinding action in the gizzard. For ruminants, the uptake will depend upon the lifetime in the digestive organs
94-99% of lead attached to external surfaces of erythrocytes 1-6% lead in plasma, of which 99% attached to proteins ~0.1 to 0.6 % of lead is as the free cation
Ca Ba Active uptake of calcium, apparently to lesser extent other divalent similar sized cations, including lead. Recognition will be similar for various species Calcium uptake is controlled by Vitamin D and growth regulators parathyroid hormone (PTH)
Calcium is stored to the endoplasmic reticulum, lead will also go there
Basophilic Stippling of Dog Blood caused by nucleation of ribonucleoproteins in presence of lead High lead causes deformation of blood cells and shorter lifetime of the red blood cell. Double whammy - production is also affected
Current measurements no longer rely on zinc protoporphyrin as PbB effects on fetal development can be detected at values of PbB <5 ug/dL
Renal biopsy of a 28 year old shipwrecker. Dense intranuclear inclusion body is characterized by a fibrillary outer margin; Cramer, Goyer et al. Brit. J. Indust. Med., hour after exposure lead is found within the kidneys, because kidneys are monitoring blood calcium levels via the glomerular filtration rate
Renal biopsy of a 28 year old shipwrecker. Interstitial fibrosis with atrophy of some tubular lining cells; Cramer, Goyer et al. Brit. J. Indust. Med., 1984
Damage to kidney results in hypertension gout
Thomas Rowlandson’s The King’s Bath
Cruikshank’s gout
Calcium is closely monitored by kidney because it plays a large role in various signalling processes
Calcium bound to calmodulin C. Yang, G. S. Jas, K. Kuczera, J. Biomolecular Structural Dynamics, 2001, 19,
Lead double whammy 1. Low lead turns on triggers 2. Hi lead turns off triggers Calcium serves as a trigger for muscle contractions: troponin C
Colic is a form of muscle spasming So are the “shakes”
Lead, like calcium, is deposited to the hard tissues Implications for the Trophic level of lead in the environment Osteocalcin (bone Gla protein (BGP)) controls calcium deposition and is affected by lead: weaker bones for affected individuals
Longitudinal Section & Cross Section of Bone Trabecular Bone Compact Bone
Seizures can result from lead due to Ca triggers of the synapses
